What to Wear

Keep in mind that you will need to make preparations for 5 days. The weather in Annapolis during April is usually in the 50’s and 60’s with rainstorms; however, it can get cold at night.

You will likely want to wear semi-formal or formal to the roundtables. Several social events will require formal attire. Be mindful that there is an afternoon of physical activities (e.g., sailing, assault course, etc.).
